1939 Bertrand Goldberg Standard Home

Although Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg (1913-1997) is perhaps
best known for his corncob buildings in downtown,
he was also involved in prefabricate house construction through
Standard Houses Corporation, a company he founded along
with Gilmer Black, Edwin Ashcroft, and Ross Beatty.

The group's second demonstration project was a collection
of five
Standard Houses Corporation model 27
in Melrose Park, IL built in 1939
on 22nd Avenue between Division Street and North Avenue.
